resolution number 1 for the blog (and me) – recap the year that was, sum it up, failures and joys revisited and ask myself, what will the next year bring.
So let’s sum up 2011:
This was a year I learnt what it means to be a mother ( and this lesson will no doubt continue year after year). The ability to let my hair down, go with the flow and know that the small stuff does not really matter.
Love unconditionally, be there unconditionally. The true meaning of someone totally, 100% relying on you is in the essence of motherhood.
So I had to learn to be flexible – a little more – still working on this one!
And let me tell you a little about failures: –
“Failure” is only “failure” if you let it be failure. Rather learning to grow and change and evolve with mistakes and mishaps – that is moving forward. That is growing and changing with life’s mishaps and unfortunate givings.
I have questioned and I have asked myself over and over – “Am i doing this right”.
So I learnt how to trust myself. I am learning how to trust myself.
Tick
So what will the year ahead bring? What will be my plans?
- I want to learn how to let go
and by letting go i mean not hold onto the crap that really is just crap and nonsense that i know i shouldn’t be holding onto but i do.
- Take each challenge as if it is an opportunity
to grow, to evolve, to learn, to participate… all of which can only increase my being that better person and better mother right?
- it is okay to say “No”. Sometimes i just need to learn the word
And be okay to say No and not feel guilty saying it. This could be the challenge.
So you might be thinking… only three… i could have a few more ideas, resolutions and goals for the year. You are right, but the truth is, if I over load myself I know they will be further away from being attainable…
With Little One coming in May, I know life will be even more chaotic….
So take each day as it comes, enjoy the little moments, and not let myself get overloaded
- There you go… number 4
Do you relate? What are your ideas for 2012?
